Course Description
Book a 1-2-1 session. Perfect for complete beginners who want to learn to sew, or if its been a while and you want to brush-up your skills. Please get in touch with me before making a booking, so we can work out whether I'm the best tutor for you, and how many hours you're likely to need. Some skills you might be interested in include: - basic sewing skills - use of a sewing machine - use of an overlocker - how to understand and use a commercial pattern - use of stretch fabrics This class is a 1-2-1 session - though if you want there is an option for you to bring a friend (to learn the same thing!) This class is only suitable for over 18s, though those 15+ can come with a parent/guardian to supervise them.
